About Maisha

Dr. Maisha Murshed is a HCPC-registered clinical psychologist based in the United Kingdom. She draws on eight years of clinical work to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family conflict and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Her style is direct and compassionate, with an emphasis on practical next steps. Dr Murshed encourages people to see themselves as the expert of their own story. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and building on what is already working.

Background and approach

She aims to make therapy feel manageable, not overwhelming, so progress can happen between appointments as well as during them. Her approach blends evidence-informed methods to suit each person’s needs. That can mean looking at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going, exploring personal narratives, or attending to attachment patterns that shape relationships.

She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when trauma is central to a person’s difficulties. Dr Murshed also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to help with values, commitment, and repairing relationship patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Narrative Therapy are used to challenge unhelpful thinking and to reframe life stories.

People who reach out often want clear steps and honest feedback. Sessions typically include practical exercises, gentle exploration of difficult memories, and planning to try new ways of relating. The goal is to reduce day-to-day distress and support longer-term change.

How therapy approaches work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on processing traumatic memories and reducing their hold on everyday life. It helps when past events cause flashbacks, intense reactions or avoidance that get in the way of daily tasks. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values, even when difficult feelings remain. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people develop safer ways of relating and communicating.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and try methods that match your needs and preferences. Together you will review what helps and adjust the plan if something feels unhelpful or isn’t working.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different days and needs. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, note-taking between sessions, or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments, while letting the therapist and client focus on goals and practical steps.
